Connecting to others in your neighbourhood by sharing time, skills, and everyday items...

To prevent any risk to children, Favabank requires all users to be 18 years old or over.
Your age information is hidden from people who do not know you by default and you may set your own
preferences to determine whether those who do know you can see your age.

Your address is required so that we can display posts by
other users who are in your local community. We hope that the requirement to
provide an address will also encourage greater user authenticity.

You may set your own privacy settings to determine who else can see
your address (e.g. choose from 'Public', 'Members', 'Friends' and 'No-one').
By default your Town and the first part of your Postcode can be viewed by non-members.

Availability of Favabank Outside UK

Please feel free to contact Favabank at 'Contact Us' if
you have any questions regarding the potential availability of Favabank in other countries. Our
aim is to bring the platform to maturity in the UK before seriously considering the
idea of establishing a presence in other countries.

Incentives for Early Users

We'll shortly be announcing details of a scheme to encourage
user activity levels in the early days of Favabank by offering incentives for certain
account activities. We can't formally announce the scheme until we have created our
cooperative legal structure, which will be in place prior to our official launch later
in 2012.

At this stage we would like to state the general aims of a scheme which will ideally
involve being able to allocate share ownership to 5,000 early users. The shares may
be in a virtual format until Favabank becomes viable and able to support the
administration aspects involved in paying dividends.

There may be a prerequisite
for a recipient of shares to be a Favabank cooperative member having paid a cooperative
subscription, or if a share allocation scheme appears to be unfeasible then we could
consider offering discounted or Free cooperative membership. All of the specific
details will be announced prior to official launch.

Above we refer to the achievement of certain account activity goals as the basis
on which we can offer shares, this may be along the lines of the following:

It may involve completing a profile and uploading a photo, inviting a couple of
friends and vouching for their authenticity, having a friend vouch for your authenticity,
posting an ad, posting a social comment, maintaining account activity for a specified
period (e.g. remain active for over a year).

Specific details of the scheme will be announced around the time that we announce
the confirmation of our legal status as a cooperative. In the meantime, please refer
to our plans regarding the cooperative at 'Favabank as a Cooperative'.

October 2012:

In October, we launched our 'Local Pages' feature to create a space for people
to talk about what's happening in their community. When you log in as a user, your default
page will now be your local page. Every area in the UK has a local page and we will initially be having a promotional focus
in the North Surrey and Berkshire area.
